    Love to see well-roundedness in all these students. Not only strong academically but present themselves really well and have strong social and recreational skills/interests. As a high school student I was overwhelmed by the academic aspect alone that I couldn't be bothered with the extra curricular.

    It's crazy to hear these students talking about studying 10 hour's a day.. But we middle class students from asia use to go USA in student visa but our priority will always be working more and return that money back to our nation.. Obviously, we have to do more work because we need to pay those money back which we took from other people while coming to USA for the fees.. 😂😆 So, our priority will always be work and money then study.. And i had also applied for Youngstown state university, California state university and some other university as well hope, i will be accepted and i need to wait 1 yrs just for interview 😂😆

    Luck of the draw if you are not on one of the special categories. You might have gotten in this year and might not have gotten in the next or the previous year. Once you've read the first 15 applicants' resumes, the rest would be similar. One accepted applicant can be replaced by an unaccepted applicant. The school will also choose students based on the school's various needs. All of the applicants are A+ top dogs of their high schools and once they get to Stanford they become C and B average students.

First in Indonesian class when we were watching that documentary about Nike factories in Indonesia and Tiger Woods came up because he made enough money every minute for many Nike factories workers to buy a house because of his Nike sponsorship, and now again in the introduction to this video! Kinda frickled up though the ridiculous amount of money these people make, they don't deserve it I'm sorry, that great amount at least. It would be fine if they gave away most of their money to charity, but most don't really. They just give small portions that seem big to most people, but compared to their actual salaries, it's a very minor.

      4.something means out of 5. If you take honors or AP classes (both harder than normal classes; AP aka Advanced Placement means you take a test at the end of the year and if you score high enough you get college credit). An A in honors or AP is a 5 on the grading scale is instead of a 4. So if someone took all honors or AP classes and got As in all of them, they'd have a 5.0 weighted GPA.
